The main reason it became famous was because in 1911 Vincenzo Perugia put the painting under his trench coat after hours, and a worker saw he couldn't get out the door and opened it for him

[@alexesloan8325]

He was also a former employee at the art gallery

[@th3grav3mak3rgaming8]

What they said👆🏻

[@The_Gaming_Crustacean]

The guy that criticized the work before it stolen didn’t really think it was special, after it was stolen and returned, the same guy had a completely different opinion.

[@mazuruki]

No the real reason it became famous was because the mona lisa got stolen
And the whole world was trying to find it.

[@alexesloan8325]

@@mazuruki that’s literally what he said, and no the world was not trying to find it, the museum noticed it was missing and realized that he had stolen it because he was fucking idiot

[@FerociousMit]

You do know women back in this time were bigger. Back in this time the beauty standard was to have meat on your bones. As long as you could handle what was expected of a woman, maybe even dance if you were in that social class, then it would be best for you to be slightly chunky. Sure they had bad standards too like wearing that corset thing that squeezes you to "look skinnier" but that was mainly to control posture, not your muffin top. Men liked a more husky woman. The funny thing about that is, most of the wealthy men were either slim or absurdly fat, most of the fit men were poor and worked hard jobs with little pay, or they were soldiers making a great life.

[@biganimetiddies9477]

@@tenou213 no dude he had literally no concept of women

[@gabitube6622]

And the reason why it became so famous is because there was a man obsessed with the painting and stole it.
After he stole it the news was full of Mona Lisa and that's why it became so famous.
The man who stole the painting hid it under his bed

[@NiKiMa023]

Funny how the same story gets told in different ways. I’ve always heard, an Italian fella thought Napoleon stole it from his country and wanted it back, so he took it. The museum didn’t realize it was missing for at least a day. And he kept it hidden on his kitchen table

[@Freedom-denier]

It was famous before he stole it

[@pomchmcgee6515]

@@NiKiMa023 oh cool, the way i heard it was pretty similar to kinda both of y’alls, it wasn’t a very famous painting that no one really noticed until a guy stole it after hours and afterward ofc, it was all over the news, but what differs is that i was told it was gone for three years, mysteriously returning and becoming exceedingly popular

[@de_stroyed]

He's actually wrong. It only got famous after it was stolen with a large-scale police investigation that also brought every news paper publisher to write about the art piece being stolen to help police find the art work.

[@defensemechamismmode1501]

True. He used the wrong work. The painting is important because of the painting technique but it got famous because it was stolen.

[@ehmzed]

Since it was made by an Italian artist, the thief who was an Italian man who worked at the Louvre, thought it was one of the many pieces of art stolen from Italy by France during the Napoleonic looting of art, and wanted to give it back to Italy. His sentence was even shortened to just 7 months because he was crazy and at least had acted for patriotism. The painting was then allowed to be showcased through Italy before being given back to the Louvre

[@siropelac1233]

​@defensemechamismmode1501

[@IlMatts07]

Exactly ! It isn't a complicate and insane painting to make, literally every Art student could do it. There are fellas out there that repainted the Mona Lisa to add freakin Mustaches.

[@robertsummers3386]

Well, that's part of the reason. The last part was that some random bloke loved it so much that he walked in, grabbed it, then left. THAT'S why it's famous. Because it was really famous for some rando who really liked it.

[@ehmzed]

It wasn't just that he "really liked it". Since it was made by an Italian artist, the thief who was an Italian man who worked at the Louvre, thought it was one of the many pieces of art stolen from Italy by France during the Napoleonic looting of art, and wanted to give it back to Italy.

my third fav is "stary night" by Van Gogh i just love how bold and deliberate his brush strokes were!?
(&my fav sculpture is "apallo catches daphne" by bernini where she jumping while turning into a plant! and i can see her flung out hand turing to vines!! it looks amazing!

The actual story behind Mona Lisa is that Leonardo da‘Vinci was a portrait painter and he painted portraits for people, and a girl called Mona came with her husband and asked to get a portrait painted, Leonardo said to come back the next day, and when they came back he said it wasn’t done and for years this kept happening because Leonardo kept working on the piece, but the last time they came, Leonardo was actually dead at the canvas which means he actually died at the painting while painting it, so it could be an unfinished work, we will never know.

[@just_a_dude691]

Weird fact: Leonardo da Vinci was un-burring dead body's to study muscle and bones..

[@victherocker]

When I used to draw I used to do the same technique. I never realized it was even a real technique let alone knew what it was called. I did it simply because the drawing would look more real

[@instaverso9642]

Fun fact: Leonardo Da Vinci studied muscles with real corpese that he obtained through his life. Than after his studies he buried the corpses in a proper way. Although it seems creepy, the people actually agreed to let their dead bodies to Leonardo for scientific pourpouse.
(Sorry for my bad English btw)

[@brookeggleston9314]

The man who risked his life studying human anatomy (cutting up corpses to study bone, muscle and more was punishable by death)was Michelangelo!

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I’m 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don’t smoke, but I occasionally drink. I’m in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning.

The Mona Lisa was painted on a previously existing painting. The blur and other fascinating stuff actually happened much later as the painting itself took a really long time to finish. Some art historians believe that it is actually not based on one person but many.

Nowadays we would think about drawing like recreating a picture pixel by pixel but drawing from a photograph is so much different from drawing what you see because what you see is never as objective for the brain than a photo of the same thing so drawing realistically in these times is way more impressive than doing the same thing today would be.
